Every young family knows how quickly a trip to the supermarket can turn into a disaster, but help is now at hand. In MasterCard’s latest TVC, we see a young mum avoid an awkward moment thanks to the speed of payment made possible by MasterCard’s contactless payment technology PayPass™.
The campaign is based on the insight that no matter how vigilant you are as a parent, kids will be kids, especially when out and about shopping. The wise parent needs an exit strategy for these times – enter MasterCard PayPass.
John Mescall, Executive Creative Director of McCann Australia said: “What happens when you take a young kid with a sword, an old bloke with an eye-patch, and a mum with a MasterCard and put them all together in the same ad? This.”
Launching with a 30-second TVC this Sunday (31 March) and running throughout 2013, the campaign includes retail out-of-home executions as well as a usage promotion developed by MercerBell.
Abe Forsyth of Jungleboys returns as director, following his direction of the MasterCard PayPass spot ‘Chocolate Dash’ which launched in September last year.
